About Double Coffee Franchise System
Double Coffee franchise system offers several models of business development. These opportunities have been developed on the basis of international experience and good practice. To gain ideas and knowledge for evolution of their franchise, the management of Double Coffee have participated in IFA (International Franchise Association) organized exhibition IFA Expo 2008, which was held for the 17th time in Washington D. C., USA. J. Roganovs, the director of Double Coffee franchise development says: IFA Expo 2008 is one of the most significant events in the world of franchising, attended by several thousands of people from all around the world. Our main goals of visiting the exhibition were: to research different franchising concepts more closely; to see how franchisers present themselves in exhibitions of such scale; to get to know more about information technologies that are used in franchising; to establish useful contacts with people involved in different areas of franchising. We can say with confidence that we have accomplished our goals to 100%. Specially useful appeared to be the seminars and symposiums which were running parallel to the exhibition. Very interesting was the 2-day symposium "Franchising Your Business" and the symposium about development of operations manuals. From seminars we got to know more about, for example, budgeting of the master franchise and franchising opportunities in India. The exhibition itself did not impress us with its size and brightness, however we successfully managed to gain all information and experience we needed.
